SOC Feature Enablement - Work with IP and SOC Design to define the enablement sequence and define specs SOC Electrical and Functional valdation - Validate the SOC for Functional and Electrical correctness
Cross-functional collaboration: Work with design, verification, and software teams to resolve problems and meet project goals.
Test development and execution: Design, develop, and execute validation tests in C/C++ to functionally test the silicon on physical hardware or emulators.
Debugging and root cause analysis: Use lab equipment like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol analyzers to debug issues, root-cause silicon failures, and verify fixes.
Automation: Develop and build automated test suites and validation frameworks to improve efficiency.
Reporting: Report on project status and provide feedback to the architecture and design teams.
Required Skills And Experience
System-on-Chip (SoC) and ASIC validation: Experience with SoC architecture, pre-silicon emulation, and post-silicon ASIC validation.
Programming: Proficient in C/C++ and scripting languages like Python or Perl.
Lab equipment: Hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators.
Test development: Experience writing and reviewing validation test plans and developing directed, random, and pseudo-random diagnostics.
System integration: Ability to bring up and debug systems on various platforms using tools like JTAG.
Problem-solving: Strong analytical and debugging skills to find and resolve complex issues.
Automation tools: Experience with creating and building automation suites and test automation tools.
